IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED LAND-ROLLER, FERTILIZER, AND sEEDfiill t ihifit din fidgthih: want in in that Enters new imh mating as at its titlllt. TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Be it known 'tliat I, D. Turnon, of GranvilleOentre, in the county of Bradford, and in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Land-Roller, ertilizer, and- Seed-Sewer; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had tojthe' accompanying drawings, a'ndthe letters of reference marked thereon.

':In-' .th:e annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, A represents a, cylindrical roller, made in two parts, and adjusted so as to revolveonthe shaft or axle B.

' C represents'a metallic frame or bearing, made in the form shown, forming bearings for the shaft, andnpon The bearings O are adjusted, one at each end ofthe shaft B, and outside of the ends of the roller A. The

box D is'secured so as to be directly over the roller A, and base. suitable frame, F, secured to its under side, to which are'seeured otherparts of this machine, tobe hereinafter described.

, being attached to a pitman, P, and operated thereby.

Secured also to the nude! side of the box D ale suitable burs, projecting both ways, which 1in bearings. for the shafts O 0 One end of the shafts O O is provided nitli a flange oi collai, and the oth 10 has the crank-wheel M'secured thereto, The crank-wheels M rest againsttlio face of the roller-A, and revolved thereby; said wheels are also provided with crank-pins, as shown, to which the pitmen P P are attached L L represent elbow-levers, one pivoted to the frame F, and one to the tongue or pole H, oncend of each I I'represent boxes or troughs secured to thefront and rear end of. the frame F, and provided with a perforated bottom for the seed or fertilizer to pass through. The forward box, I, is intended for the seed, and the Adjusted inside of the boxes I I, and resting on the bottom thereof, are perforated sliding plates, K K, each provided with lugs or cars, X'X, between which the ends of'the levers L L catch and work.

The levers L L are provided with holes or perforations, in which thep-itmen P P inay be adjusted and pivoted at different distances from thei'ulcrum, so as to regulate the distance of the play orslidc of the plates K K, and thereby regulate the flow of thoseed or fertilizer throu h the perforations of said plates and the b ttom of the boxes I. The perforations of the plates K K and boxes I I may be made-of any suitable size or form It will 'be seen that when this machine is in motion, the roller A will'operate or give motion to the friction and crank-wheels M M, and they in turn will operate the pitmen P P, which move the arms or lovers L L, and thereby the reciprocating plates K K.

It will also-bc's'ecn that the abovefdescribed machine is cheap in construction, and efl'eotivp as a landrollcr and seed or fertilizer-drill or sewer. i I p c Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- r The combination of the front and rear hoppers I I, and their respective plates K K, pitmen P P, levers L L, rollers M M, and cylinders A A, all constructed and operating substantially as specified. In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 5th day of March, Hi -i8.
